IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, T. WLNSLOW, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Flows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of'the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specificatiomin which- Figure 1 is a view of the mold-hoard side of Fig. 2 is a front view. Fig. 3 is a view of the landside. Fig. 4 is a rear view; and Figs. 5 and 6,,are transverse sections. Fig. 7 is an outline view of the under side.

Like letters refer to like parts. A

My invention relates to such a construction of the plow that without changing the relative position of any of its parts a deep or shallow furrow may beplowedat pleasure. The means by which this is accomplished consists in, first, the depth of the plow from the beam tothe lower edge of the landside and, second, in1the relative position of the lower margin ofthe mold-board with that of the landside. a A represents the landside. This does not difl'er in any essential feature from those in common use except in its depth from a to a, which is at least one-third greater than in the common plow.

The share B is of the usual form, tached to the mold-board by bolts in th nary way.

The mold-hoard G and the landsideBare it firmly united in front, as seen atD,aud.at the I. 1 point of union are made thin and sharpinor I der to easily penetrate the soil. The lower ity. l

Some of the advantages thisplow has over others may he stated as follows: It requires less draft than other plows. A deep or shallow furrow can be plowed at pleasure. ltttnl swers every purpose ofa subsoil-plow, combm;

ing in one implement both the common plow:

and subsoil. The draft is believed to helighter than any other plow in. use capable ot' per-y forming the same amount OfWOl'k.

1 What I claim as my improvement, and de-y sire to secure by Letters Patent, is+ 1 The herein-described construction oi'plows, the distinguishing, featureheing the relative positions of the lower edge of the mo!d-ho; rt11 t 1 to the lnndside, substantially as herein set forth, thus forming in one implement a com mon and subsoil plow.
